From the st. Louis Republican.
While In the Morton house the other evening
saw gentleman with dis;ingue air catching
his cuffs with the closed finc rs OF his hands and
drawing their well-starched surface into sight.
This jerking process was repeated every minute
At first got the impression that he was afflicted
with the st. Vitus dance. The mystery, however
was quickly explained. After watching him some
minutes saw that he was trying to exhibit two
enormous diamond sleeve buttons They were
larger than Mrs. Frank Leslie's earrings and they
shOne like electric lights In an Underground
passage. Their saffron hue detracted greatly
from their value. Recovering from my surprise /
was astonished to lind them oyershadowed by q
stud as large as a big horse chestnut. 1t defied
The man wore diamond buttons on his waistcoat.
and spOrted a cOllar-button that blazed above his
tie like fiery spark. The owner OF this unique
collection OF gems was Charles L. Davis. He is
fairly loaded with solitaires. Some months ago
the well-Snown Pony Morse, OF London, whose
stepdaughter married Charley Mitchell, Tie pugi,-
ist, dropped tntO the Norton house cafe. Moore
owns some Of the finest diamonds in London. He
wears three old mine stones on his shirt front as
large as nutmegs, and as translucent In color as
the eyes OF an angel Some one introduced him
to Davis. The latter drew down his shirt Guns
and tried to paralyZe Moore by the brilliancy OF
his solitaires. The negro minstrel was as stoical
as an Indian.
81 see you are fond Of diamonds" he said.
Perhaps you would like to look at some bear-
ties?"
He drew channels bag from his pocket and
rolled out handful Of stones OF exquisite lustre
Nothing daunted, Davis pointed to the stud and
his buttons on his waistc0at. He next turned
down The band OF his trousers, and exhibited a
huge diamond doing service in an undergarment
''Get on to that and die, he said, in q tone of
sarcasm.
After this he drew fistful of loose diamonds
from his pocket and threw them upon the bar for
Pony's inspection. Not long afterward a load OF
Ice was dumped into the chute leading to the Gel
lar. The noise startled those in the cafe whats
that?" Moore asked.
.'They're dumping Davis diamonds into the
safe down stairs" James w. Collier, the actor
said. "He has them locked up there every night. )
The largest diamond In the country is said TO be
the one worn by Minnie Palmer It is called s'the
President Cleveland" The next largest is owned
by Tiffany, and Is on exhibition at his store The
third largest Is In the possession OF Charles Levy
the proprietor Of Centre street cafe. He brought
1t from the South American mines When first
cut 1t weighed 152 karats. II has since been
trimmed down to 55 karats, and 1t Is now said to
be OF the finest stones OF its size in the world
1t is valued at $40, 900.
These figures show that the diamonds OF to-day
lar 0utStrfp In value those worn in Tweed's time
Jim Fisk's great headlight cost only S1s 600. Boss
Tweed's was never valued at more than $50 600,
and Judge Barnard's kicked the beam at $1,000.

A FORTUNE ACQUIRED WITH THE RIFLE IN AFRICAN
wILDS.
From the New York Times.
An erroneous impression seems to have gone
abroad about Frederick C. Selaus, the well known
African explorer and hunter of large game. II

To be an uncle is indeed An awful thing:
SO yield to the temptation
To indulge in lamentaton,
And Of few Of unky's troubles now sing
Perhaps TO call upon the baby you have found
A Few spare minutes, as you in duty bound:
He Is sure to be asquallng,
For he always is abawling,
You then for hours tote your little nefy round
suppose you saunter in the morning down the street
Then every map you know in town you're
Each will slap you ON the shoulder,
Saying, You look SO much older"
And always adding, Are You not agoing to treat!"

AN AWFUL FATE.
Twelve Persons Perish in Hotel
Holocaust.
Tho Splendid New Richmond at Buffalo
Licked up by the Fire Demon.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1s.-A fire in
the Richmond Hotel was discovered at 8 80
this morning. An alarm was sounded and
the fire department responded promptly.
The house contained large number Of
guests. Their heartrending shrieks could
plainly be heard. Ladders were raised as
soon as possible and as many as could were
taken out. A large number Of them were
unable to effect their escape. At o'clock
other property in the block were doomed to
speedy destruction. The whole place
burned like tinder. The corridor in the
center of the building acted as great fun
mel, and as the flames streamed upwards
the guests found themselves imprisoned
by walls Of fire. The screams of the un-
fortunates could be heard for blocks, and
at many Of the windows they could be seen
in their night clothes calling wildly
for help. At one Of the third floor
windows two guests were seen by
the crowd to fall back into the flames.
One man jumped from the fifth floor
to the roof Of two story wooden
building adjoining. He was seriously in
jured. The estimate of the loss Of life is
stated to be twelve. There were 125 per-
sons in the hotel, seventy Of whom were
transient guests, eight boa ders, and the
remainder porters, bell boys, the families
of the proprietors and clerks Twenty
two of these werc rescued from the win
| dows by the tiremen, twenty-five are at
the hospitals and large number made
their escape by other means.
